Gosh maybe I'm having a very senior moment. Were you there on Wednesday evening too? I'm guessing so due to the reference of shop stop. If so, Ugly was definitely in. Thanks! Silly me then 😂 |

Do we think this is closing?? There's some "signs" it might be. Max Harwood (movie Jamie) mentioned on insta that Noah is playing Jamie until August 2021. The show isn't booking past end of August 2021. Now it could be a coincidence and that they've just not announced its extending yet and they could be planning a cast change? But Six the Musical will reportedly not be returning to the Arts Theatre and it needs a new theatre from when the Bob Marley Musical moves in. I have a feeling Six could replace Jamie. Now just my thoughts, nothing concrete. What do you all think? X Any updates on this? Still nothing announced... 🤔 |

Saw the show again last night .... last time I saw it was December everyone significantly upped their game ... what a fabulous tight cast ... biggest surprise of the night was Shane Ritchie !!! Really loved his interpretation of Hugo / loco as loco a cross between Mae West and Bette Davis perfect and really relishing the songs .... Mj knocked he’s my boy out of the park yet again ( despite the drunk singing along on the front row )
To add to that his even drunker friend who when arriving placed her wine on the stage ( the FOH staff are some of the best and swiftly took it down ) then told me she’s seen Jamie 3 times and loves it so much then texted all the way through act one ( staff told her to turn it off ) and her friend to wear his mask 😷 numerous times he did not follow requests !
Thankfully no texting in second half. Only because battery had run out and she plugged it in the theatre socket !!
She turned her back on me in second half as after 45 mins I politely indicated to her to close her phone . This was 20 mins after staff had told her already .
Then wait for it !!!
The finale .... her friend needs the loo clambers over everyone .... she gets up puts her full wine glass on the stage and handbag 👝!!! 😱 Shane ritchies face was a picture then Sandra b noticed it and corpsed in shock ... then James gillan or maybe Noah. But think it was James shouted at top of his voice get that off the stage !
Lots of giggles from the cast and just shock of it all .... wish someone has filmed it as I know some fans do record the last song 🎶
Omg 😳 what a night happy birthday me lol .... can’t wait to go back hopefully minus the rude drunks

I was there again tonight. I had nowhere near the excitement of drowseychap. The audience were very well behaved. Great second row view.
All the standard cast were on. Everyone was on form although I have a feeling there may be a cold going around the cast.
I wasn't so keen on Shane Richie's Hugo during his first London run, but I've grown to like how he plays the role now.
One thing I've noticed is they've cut back on the mask/Covid jokes a lot. Very few of them are left from the brief reopening in November. The ones that are there work really well.
Not much more to add this time. Just a nice feelgood evening!

I’m guessing it’s because there’s no available theatres right now for Six besides taking the Apollo and even though Jamie is successful and profitable, Six is basically a phenomenon now, so Jamie has to go until another theatre is free?

From reading other threads, Six is taking the Vaudeville not the Apollo, Magic Goes Wrong is apparently moving, which makes little sense to me. |

Presumably so that Jamie will return to the Apollo once Magic Goes Wrong finishes its run. That said, I do wonder how long it will come back for. |

My guess is that Six will now move to the Apollo.

I get the impression the return will happen when the tour ends in May 22.

It's a bit strange that Nica is taking Jamie off but I guess she doesn't want to lose Six to another theatre operator. The new Nimax theatre is opening next year so it could be a potential home for Jamie but at the same time, Nica may want a new show to open her new theatre.
Was Magic Goes Wrong meant to be a limited run before they had to close or was it planned to be open ended.

Was Magic Goes Wrong meant to be a limited run before they had to close or was it planned to be open ended. It was planned to be open ended. It’s a very technical show so can’t see them moving both Six and Magic across town. Surely Six will be better suited to the Apollo in the meantime? I’m surprised that Nica is happy to shut Jamie with the film coming out in September. I presume it will be a “reserve” if Bob Marley/The Drifters Girl doesn’t sell as well as planned? |

I do feel that taking a hiatus then returning next year could end backfiring and it ends up closing for good. |

Magic Goes Wrong will soon be hitting the road, so that version at least must be relatively easy to switch between theatres.
We shall never know, but I wonder if Mischief and its producing partners are insisting that their contract is honoured.
Theatre owners can require their tenants to quit if sales targets aren't reached, but must the show be allowed to open?
As both theatre owner and producer of Jamie, maybe Nica Burns has decided to simply take the path of least resistance.

Surprised they aren’t getting another “name” to replace Shane Richie. They usually always have some sort of name as Loco or Miss Hedge

Visited Jamie last night and there was none of the excitement of drunk people in the front row with me. Everyone else was very respectful.
I was right at the end of the row, which is a tighter view than the centre and gives a good view of the wings.
The main excitement was being nearly hit by a temperature gun, which went flying off the stage during scene change (ending up two or three rows back). To his credit, Shane Richie cut the line involving it and went straight on as if nothing had happened.
Very unusually James Gillan was off. Keenan Knight was on as Young Loco (as well as his normal role of Sayid) and Kieran McGinn as Tray Sophisticay. Both did very well. Otherwise, all the regulars were on.
A fun show as always and good to have seen Shane Richie one final time before he leaves the West End production on Sunday.
